Pakistan has been eliminated from the Commonwealth Games 2022 hockey medal race. In their pool-A match on Thursday, Pakistan was defeated by the unbeatable Australians.
The opposition dominated the game from the start of the faceoff, and the Pakistani players appeared helpless in their attempts to mount a comeback.
The Pool-A toppers, Australia took the 1-0 lead in the 12th minute when Blake Govers netted the goal. Pakistani players struggled to hit an equalizer in the second quarter but to no avail.
Pakistan’s troubles multiplied when Jeremy Hayward got his team the 2-0 lead in the 19th minute. Hayward hit another goal – his second and overall the third one – in the third quarter.
The Pakistani players could not do anything to stop the advance of the Aussies and Tom Wickham enhanced the lead to 4-0 in the 42nd minute.

With a convincing win of a 7-0 lead, it was a walkover for Australia which had already advanced into the CWG semifinals in the hockey event.
